Clean sheets

3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (6th of 6) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 92.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.3, Jensen carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superliga of 30, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sonderjyske finished 6th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
